Discover the Campus
Find out where you will study and what else the Campus of Aalen University of Applied Sciences has to offer in addition to Studies.
You are interested in technicians and want to understand the interplay between mechanics, Electronics & Computer Science in order to develop innovative and sustainable products for a world worth living in. You are interested in challenges relating to digital transformation. Digital twins and modern Systems Engineering inspire you.
Our everyday life between robots, machines and medical technology is developing at breakneck speed. This requires people who can shape the interaction of all the mechanical, electrical engineering and computer science components. We Mechatronics engineers seek interdisciplinary exchange, use graphic tools and digital twins to shape a world worth living in together with young people - sustainably and internationally. This makes us sought-after generalists.
For admission, you need a university entrance qualification (Abitur, university of applied sciences qualification) or a Laboratory Supervisor, technician. Further information on the topic of Application and admission can be found here.
